1960's says me..... 110, 111, 113 and 108 - also 114/115's

These were the most sincere cars of all. Economy models dominated the global taxi cab industry. And coachwork of deluxe sedans, coupes and roadsters from this era has never been equalled.

Of course today's cars are mostly 'point and shoot' vehicles that drive themselves. And in this regard I've got no doubt that modern MB's are still the best. And you cannot blame them for 'jelly bean' styling of the basic sedans. It provides a sense of anonymity for the owner. I think this was a problem for Rolls Royce, it got to the point where it became an embarrassment to own one on account of the stigma attached.

And thats a cool thing about 114's especially, they are designed along the same principle of humility.
